With 38 seconds remaining in the first half of Super Bowl LII, the Philadelphia Eagles ran their ‘Philly Special’, a play that will live in the hearts and minds of Eagles fans forever.

Some moments in NFL history are so significant that they’re known, simply, by a name or a familiar phrase. You know that yourself. What do you think about when you hear ‘The Drive’ or ‘The Music City Miracle’? See what we mean? For Philadelphia Eagles fans this also holds true.

Three words come to mind, ‘4th and 26’. As special as that moment was, it kind of loses some steam because, that season, the Eagles didn’t quite close the deal by bringing home the Lombardi Trophy.

It came on February 4th of 2018, and when fans think of that day, they’ll now think of another legendary play in Eagles history.

It’s affectionately being called ‘Philly Special’.

It was time to be smart. At least that’s what we all thought...
